Anxiety, Stress and Tripping on Words

Hi, I am new here.


I’ve had anxiety since childhood. It’s embarrassing when once in a while I start to talk and I fumble a word.


The neurologist said it’s from the anxiety, but sometimes I don’t feel anxious when it happens. Although there may be an underlying anxiety that I’m not aware of.   Had anxiety and stress for a very long time.


Just wondered if anyone else has experienced this.   Thanks

yes sometimes we try so hard to prove ourselves to others, that we do create a certain amount of stress, and also the mere fact that your thinking so much on how your saying things it takes attention away from what we are trying to say and we can stumble at times trying to catch the proper words. so if your totally relaxed and not worry-ing about how your saying things you never have this trouble. WHEN i was in my twenties i had trouble staying awake when i was under stress. It wasn't because i was tired, it was because i would self hypnotise myself to sleep. i would become so fearful of falling asleep , i would in my mind keep thinking how im getting sleepy and sleepier now im going to fall asleep. and i would, self hypnosis. once i realized that i stopped doing it and had no problem. so in a sense its how we precieve things that sometimes create the problem we have. we can actually create the problem by thinking of it to much.
